Thanks to all who responded. The most concise and informative answer came
from Han Pilmeyer who stated the following:
Before V5 we distinguished between TruCluster Available Server and
TruCluster Production Server. The TCR PS version required a memory
channel cluster interconnect and it was required to run Oracle
Parallel Server.
Since V5 clusters we do not distinguish between the two any more. The
product is now called TruCluster Server and it always requires memory
channel as the cluster interconnect.
With V5.0A you still need to use raw volumes (either through LSM or
with disk partitions) when you use Oracle Parallel Server. It is
expected that with Oracle 8.1.7 and the next version of TruCluster
Server, it will be possible to run Oracle Parallel Server on top of
the clustered file system (CFS) using direct I/O.
Essentially the answer is yes to both questions.
Original Question:
We are new to Tru64 and are going to run version 5.0a. We currently run
Oracle databases as well as Oracle Financials. My question is two-fold.
Does Oracle Parallel Server require Trucluster? Is Trucluster necessary for
OPS to use Memory channel?
